DrukenReaps on Alternate Ban List

11 months ago

I've never really been a fan of the ban list used for commander. I don't think it addresses potential problem cards the right way. There's always going to be a new problem card printed. I also think there's cards stuck on there that use to be scary and just aren't now. Like when Worldfire came off and no one really cared lol. So I wanted to just go through the mental exercise of designing a new ban list. First thing is I wanted to bring back the old "banned as commander" and therefore have 2 ban lists. The argument I heard most against this is that it's complicated but we play the most complex deck design game in MTG. I think people can handle 2 ban lists. For the banned from the 99 part of the list I was thinking I'd focus on fast tutors and fast mana. Like I said there will always be more problem cards. Many that aren't banned are arguably stronger than banned ones currently. For example Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host is arguably easier and more consistent than Cromat + Coalition Victory.

So here are the 2 lists, they do not contain everything. Just wanted to start the idea and see people's thoughts.

Banned as Commander- Braids, Cabal Minion Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Griselbrand Iona, Shield of Emeria Leovold, Emissary of Trest

Banned from the 99- Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Black Lotus Channel Sol Ring Mana Crypt Mana Vault Worldly Tutor Enlightened Tutor Personal Tutor Vampiric Tutor Demonic Tutor Mystical Tutor

I would also simply declare that Companion doesn't work in Commander. So you can play your Lutri, the Spellchaser if you so desire. I think this mechanic as a whole was poorly thought out and poorly tested, hence the changes and bans across multiple formats.

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.1! 6 months ago, Cumly Cube was launched to resounding approval. However, in response to feedback from fans, several cards in the pool were deemed unplayable, uninteresting, or overpowered. For Cumly Cube's six month anniversary, I have chosen to update the card pool. Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

REMOVED:

  • Abomination: too weak in power level
  • Anger of the Gods: while board wipes are an essential part of the game, this card is too simple in effect in comparison to other red board wipes in the card pool
  • Birthing Pod: synergizes poorly with the rest of the card pool
  • Black Dragon: too weak in power level
  • Black Lotus: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
  • Bloodcurdling Scream: too weak in power level
  • Cavalier of Night: too on-theme for a black card
  • Cinderclasm: while board wipes are an essential part of the game, this card is too simple in effect in comparison to other red board wipes in the card pool
  • Dack Fayden: too powerful
  • District Guide: synergizes poorly with the rest of the card pool
  • Dockside Extortionist: too strong in multiplayer games considering the dominance of the "treasure matters" archetype in this card pool
  • Dread Reaper: too weak in power level
  • Edric, Spymaster of Trest: too powerful
  • Eviscerator: too weak in power level
  • Grim Strider: too weak in power level
  • Hypnox: too weak in power level
  • Jungle Creeper: too weak in power level
  • Mind Bomb: too weak in power level
  • Mox Emerald: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
  • Mox Jet: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
  • Mox Pearl: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
  • Mox Ruby: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
  • Mox Sapphire: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
  • Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver: too weak in power level
  • Nix: too weak in power level
  • Obelisk of Alara: too weak in power level
  • Patagia Golem: too weak in power level
  • Phantasmagorian: too weak in power level
  • Prismite: too weak in power level
  • Rootcoil Creeper: synergizes poorly with the rest of the card pool
  • Shattering Blow: too strong of an answer to the artifact archetype
  • Shatterskull Smashing  Flip: MDFCs are interesting cards, but it does not make sense to have only one in the card pool
  • Smelt: too strong of an answer to the artifact archetype
  • Smog Elemental: too weak in power level
  • Spirit of the Night: too weak in power level
  • Storm Spirit: too weak in power level
  • Tibalt's Trickery: introduces too much variance for an enjoyable experience
  • Unholy Strength: too weak in power level
  • Vampiric Link: too on-theme for a black card
  • Wooded Bastion: this was included on error instead of its Golgari counterpart

My guy you are very wrong. I have Mox Ruby and Mox Emerald in the deck for fast mana, and Paradoxical Outcome. I actually added Manamorphose in a more recent iteration. (Well I switched pearl for emerald when I added Manamorphose but it just made sense, cuz there’s no white).

It’s need for mana fixing from the off-color moxen, and it’s a free cantrip like Probe or Wraith.

DragonSliver9001 Well then I must be horribly unlucky.

I think Demonic Consultation might be a consideration for that slot. Demonic Tutor and Mox Jet are already present.

The only card that is red or green is Manamorphose so the only reason you have Mox Ruby and Mox Emerald is because Manamorphose. So the deck needs mana fixing to accommodate Manamorphose. What about getting rid of the Ruby and Emerald for a finished playset of Opals and Chrome Mox?

This is very similar to my attempt at an Unrestricted deck.

Hot Wheels (Unrestricted Breach Combo)

I think the redundancy of Echo of Eons and Windfall is a big help to getting the right consistency. But my primary contention is the win condition. For a deck built around the first turn, Black Vise is a bit of a tough ask.

Maybe one of those play sets of Black Lotus could convert to Lotus Petals or Mox Opals. And then the Mox Emeralds could come in as the other? Sweet idea. I like what you’re going for. And the Sol Rings can become Mana Crypts since you aren’t looking to go past the first turn.

This combo is super nuts, but in your t1 win, how are you casting Kinnan with only colorless mana? You need GU.

Mox Emeralds and Mox Sapphires are an obvious upgrade over lands, especially with Kinnan, and will help speed you up considerably.

vasarto77 on Mox Emerald in about a …

I just finally purchased one of my DREAM cards. A Card I have wanted to own since the moment I layed virtual eyes on it. The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale . Now, I have realized when I did a search out of curiosity that not all versions of Mox Emerald is worth 8,000. I, if I am lucky, I think I might be able to track down and purchase-through Ebay auctions, a mox emerald in LP for around 2500-3000 or so from the looks of it. My goal is for a graded 8+ of one like I got my Tabernacle in, but that might be hard. Do you guys think that ( because it will take me until maybe march to pay off the debt for the card I just bought) that by about December 2020-ish that this might still be achievable and NOT see Mox Emerald jump another 2k or something similar? Because as long as I can get one that is in a collectors condition, that being at least what most would consider LP or a Graded 8 which is a NM-Mint grade from beckett, that this might still be possible? Or should I say Feck it and buy one now on Paypal Credit and take the hit from interest rates knowing I cannot pay this shit off in six months in full? Is it worth it to wait, or do I need to Jump right the feck now?

This is basically my ultimate dream card. I have loved Green Mana and Green decks since I first started playing in Champions. My first deck was a hodge podge of green and white spells that were all Damaged cards a friend gave me and a Mox Emerald, being the symbol of green power itself is something I really want. So, should I wait until I have accumulated "some" of the funds I need and use the extra six months to hopefully get it paid off or almost paid off, or will this jump sooner than the end of next year and should I just pay a little extra in interest and just buy it now when I can find the right Mox?
